Yes, GroovyMAME & cleanstretch + D3D + ArcadeVGA 3000 + W7 should have no issues.

DirectDraw seems unusable after XP.

Ahh,

It seems im having a mare due to W& now.

Bought an Arcade VGA3000 and a mame64 bit on w764bit.

Been a huge pain in the butt, but seems to be working except that when i want to play Street fighter 2, or mortal kombat for example the window is tiny and i can hardly see anything!!

Tried to change the mame.ini file as per the ultimarc site, but when i change the switchres value mame says directdraw failed to initialize?

I hate my arcade machine!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Hi captainvark0,

To avoid the directdraw issue switch to -video d3d, combined with a MAME build with the -cleanstretch patch, like CabMAME or GroovyMAME.

krick:
Are you using GroovyMAME?

You should back up your old mame.ini file and create a fresh one by running...

groovymame.exe -cc


For Windows 7 with GroovyMAME, you should set the video to D3D in mame.ini
